Just me trying to be honest with God.

When God doesn't give us what we want He may be giving us time to see if we really want it.

“And he [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.” Lk.18 ESV

There are many reasons why God does not immediately answer our prayers. One may be to help us decide if we really want what we are asking from Him. God tweaks prayers. Tweaking our prayers is one way He fine tunes us to Kingdom concerns. We are told to have great confidence that God will answer every prayer consistent with His will so when we ask for something that isn't, it is logical to assume that He will tweak it until it is. Every good parent does this when they help their children make wise choices. If we are still waiting on God's answer, it may just be that He is tweaking our request. 7/26/2011 Conversations Within ts (On the Road to the Grand Canyon)
